Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the present application.
The image analysis method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to the brain image analysis device shown in fig. 1. The brain image analysis device comprises a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory, wherein the processor can execute the steps of the following method embodiments when executing the computer program. Optionally, the brain image analysis device may further comprise a network interface, a display screen and an input means. Optionally, the image analysis device may further comprise a database for storing the sample brain region. Wherein the processor of the brain image analysis device is configured to provide computing and control capabilities. The memory of the brain image analysis device includes a nonvolatile storage medium storing an operating system and a computer program, and an internal memory. The internal memory provides an environment for the operation of the operating system and computer programs in the non-volatile storage media. The network interface of the brain image analysis device is used for communicating with an external terminal through a network connection. Optionally, the brain image analysis device may be a server, may be a personal computer, may also be a personal digital assistant, may also be other terminal devices, such as a tablet computer, a mobile phone, etc., and may also be a cloud or remote server.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, an image analysis method is provided, which is exemplified by application of the method to the brain image analysis device in fig. 1, and includes the steps of:
s201, determining brain regions to be merged in brain images to be analyzed in response to input operation instructions; the brain regions to be merged comprise brain regions in different brain regions in the brain image to be analyzed.
Specifically, the brain image analysis device determines brain regions to be merged in the brain image to be analyzed in response to an operation instruction input by a user. The brain image to be analyzed may be a computed tomography (Computed Tomography, CT), a magnetic resonance image (Magnetic Resonance Image, MRI), a positron emission tomography (Positron Emission Computed Tomography, PET), a magnetic resonance TOF sequence image, or a digital subtraction angiography image (Digital Subtraction Angiography, DSA), etc. Wherein the brain regions to be merged comprise brain regions in different brain regions in the brain image to be analyzed. The brain image analysis device comprises a brain region management interface which is used for displaying brain region information. Optionally, the brain image analysis device may analyze an operation instruction input by a user to obtain an identifier of a brain region to be combined included in the operation instruction, so as to determine the brain region to be combined in the brain image to be analyzed. Optionally, the brain image analysis device may label the selected brain regions to be merged in the brain image to be analyzed, and determine the brain regions to be merged. Alternatively, the brain regions to be merged may be all brain regions of the left brain, all brain regions of the right brain, or both brain regions of the left brain and brain regions of the right brain.
S202, obtaining the characteristics of each brain region to be merged, and displaying the characteristics of each brain region to be merged on a brain region management interface.
Specifically, the brain image analysis device acquires the characteristics of each brain region to be merged, and displays the characteristics of each brain region to be merged on a brain region management interface of the brain image analysis device. Optionally, the brain image analysis device may analyze each brain region to be merged by using existing analysis software thereof, so as to obtain characteristics of each brain region to be merged. Optionally, the brain image analysis device may display the features of each brain region to be merged on the upper right side of each brain region to be merged on the brain region management interface, or may display the features of each brain region to be merged on the upper left side of each brain region to be merged, where in this embodiment, the display position of the features of each brain region to be merged is not limited.
S203, merging the brain regions to be merged according to the characteristics of the brain regions to be merged to obtain a first target brain region.
Specifically, the brain image analysis device performs merging operation on each brain region to be merged according to the characteristics of each brain region to be merged, so as to obtain a first target brain region. Optionally, the feature of the brain regions to be merged may be the size of the brain regions to be merged, or may be a signal value of the brain regions to be merged, that is, the brain image analysis device may perform merging operation on each brain region to be merged according to the size of each brain region to be merged to obtain the first target brain region, or may perform merging operation on each brain region to be merged according to the signal value of each brain region to be merged to obtain the first target brain region. When the brain image to be analyzed is a CT image, the signal value of the brain region to be combined is represented by a CT value; when the brain image to be analyzed is an MRI image, the signal value of the brain region to be combined can be represented by an echo signal intensity value; when the brain image to be analyzed is a PET image, the signal value of the brain region to be combined is a data standard uptake value (standard uptake value, SUV), and SUV refers to the radioactivity of the imaging agent taken by local tissues and the average injection activity of the whole body. It should be noted that, by performing merging operation on the brain regions to be merged, the obtained first target brain region can obtain relatively rich image information, for example, when the brain regions to be merged are taken as adjacent brain regions, for example, temporal lobe epilepsy occurs, the hippocampus should have relatively large asymmetry, but according to the conventional classification standard, the hippocampus is divided into a hippocampus and a parahippocampus, when the asymmetries of the two cerebellum regions are seen separately, the severity of the two cerebellum regions cannot be highlighted, when the hippocampus and the parahippocampus are merged, the asymmetries of the two brain regions can be obviously displayed, and when the non-uniqueness of the hippocampus is analyzed; for another example, in a cerebral neurodegenerative disease, frontotemporal dementia is a particularly large proportion, but according to conventional classification standards, the frontotemporal dementia is divided into 10 cerebellar regions (10 each on the left and right), and the temporal lobe is divided into 10 cerebellar regions (10 each on the left and right), but in the case where the temporal lobe and the frontal lobe are integral when the user wants to see, it is necessary to directly merge the cerebellar regions into a middle cerebral region; for another example, since the brains are symmetrical structures, such as left and right anterior wedge lobes, the ratio analysis often used in the analysis of dementia requires the ratio of the entire (left + right) anterior wedge lobe to the cerebellum as an evaluation parameter, and the left anterior wedge lobe and the right anterior wedge lobe are combined.
In the image analysis method, the brain image analysis equipment can determine the brain regions to be combined in the brain image to be analyzed by responding to the input operation instruction, wherein the brain regions to be combined comprise brain regions in different brain regions in the brain image to be analyzed, so that the brain image analysis equipment can accurately combine the brain regions to be combined according to the characteristics of the brain regions to be combined by acquiring the characteristics of the brain regions to be combined, thereby obtaining a first target brain region with higher accuracy.
In the above scenario where the merging operation is performed on each brain region to be merged according to the characteristics of each brain region to be merged to obtain the first target brain region, in one embodiment, the step S203 includes: and carrying out merging operation on each brain region to be merged according to the size of each brain region to be merged and the signal value of each brain region to be merged, so as to obtain a first target brain region.
Specifically, the brain image analysis device performs merging operation on each brain region to be merged according to the size of each brain region to be merged and the signal value of each brain region to be merged, so as to obtain a first target brain region. Optionally, the brain image analysis device may determine the sum of the sizes of the brain regions to be merged as the size of the first target brain region, determine the sum of the signal values of the brain regions to be merged as the signal value of the first target brain region, and further perform merging operation on each brain region to be merged according to the sum of the sizes of the brain regions to be merged and the sum of the signal values of the brain regions to be merged, to obtain the first target brain region.
In this embodiment, since the brain image analysis device performs the merging operation on each brain region to be merged according to the size of each brain region to be merged and the signal value of each brain region to be merged, the accuracy of the merging operation on each brain region to be merged is ensured, and the obtained first target brain region is accurate, so that the accuracy of the obtained first target brain region is improved.
In the above scenario where the merging operation is performed on each brain region to be merged according to the size of each brain region to be merged and the signal value of each brain region to be merged to obtain the first target brain region, the brain image analysis device may determine the average value of the sizes of each brain region to be merged as the size of the first target brain region, and determine the average value of the signal values of each brain region to be merged as the signal value of the first target brain region. In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the merging operation is performed on each brain region to be merged according to the size of each brain region to be merged and the signal value of each brain region to be merged, so as to obtain a first target brain region, which includes:
s301, determining an average value of the sizes of the brain regions to be merged as a size of a first target brain region, and determining an average value of the signal values of the brain regions to be merged as a signal value of the first target brain region.
Specifically, the brain image analysis device determines an average value of the sizes of the brain regions to be merged as the size of the first target brain region, and determines an average value of the signal values of the brain regions to be merged as the signal value of the first target brain region. Alternatively, the average value of the sizes of the brain regions to be merged may be a weighted average value of the sizes of the brain regions to be merged, or may be a geometric average value of the sizes of the brain regions to be merged, and similarly, the average value of the signal values of the brain regions to be merged may be a weighted average value of the signal values of the brain regions to be merged, or may be a geometric average value of the signal values of the brain regions to be merged.
S302, merging the brain regions to be merged according to the size of the first target brain region and the signal value of the first target brain region to obtain the first target brain region.
Specifically, the brain image analysis device performs merging operation on each to-be-merged brain region according to the determined size of the first target brain region and the determined signal value of the first target brain region to obtain the first target brain region, that is, the brain image analysis device determines the average value of the sizes of each to-be-merged brain region as the size of the first target brain region, determines the average value of the signal values of each to-be-merged brain region as the signal value of the first target brain region, and performs merging operation on each to-be-merged brain region according to the average value of the sizes of each to-be-merged brain region and the average value of the signal values of each to-be-merged brain region to obtain the first target brain region.
In this embodiment, since the process of obtaining the average value of the sizes of the brain regions to be merged and the average value of the signal values of the brain regions to be merged by the brain image analysis device is relatively simple, the efficiency of obtaining the average value of the sizes of the brain regions to be merged and the average value of the signal values of the brain regions to be merged by the brain image analysis device is improved, so that the brain image analysis device can quickly determine the size of the first target brain region and the signal value of the first target brain region, and thus the brain image analysis device can quickly merge the brain regions to be merged according to the determined size of the first target brain region and the determined signal value of the first target brain region to obtain the first target brain region, thereby improving the efficiency of obtaining the first target brain region.
In some scenes, the brain image analysis device may further merge the sample brain regions stored in the brain region database, and further compare and analyze the merged sample brain region with the obtained first target brain region, so as to obtain an analysis result for indicating whether an abnormal region exists in the brain image to be analyzed. In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the method further includes:
s401, determining a sample brain region corresponding to each brain region to be merged in a brain region database; the brain region database is a database stored in the brain image analysis device in advance; the brain region database comprises a plurality of sample brain regions, and each sample brain region corresponds to a brain region included in the brain image to be analyzed.
Specifically, the brain image analysis device determines, in the brain region database, a sample brain region corresponding to each of the above-described brain regions to be merged. Wherein the brain region database is a database stored in the brain image analysis device in advance; the brain region database comprises a plurality of sample brain regions, and each sample brain region corresponds to a brain region included in a brain image to be analyzed. Optionally, the brain image analysis device may match each brain region to be merged with a plurality of sample brain regions included in the brain region database one by one according to the shape of each brain region, so as to determine a sample brain region corresponding to each brain region to be merged in the brain region database, or determine a sample brain region identical to the signal value of each brain region to be merged in the brain region database according to the signal value of each brain region to be merged, so as to obtain a sample brain region corresponding to each brain region to be merged. It should be noted that, the plurality of sample brain regions included in the brain region database may be brain regions corresponding to people of different ages, or brain regions corresponding to people of different sexes.
S402, merging the brain regions of the samples to obtain a second target brain region.
Specifically, the brain image analysis device performs merging operation on the determined sample brain regions corresponding to the brain regions to be merged to obtain a second target brain region. Optionally, the brain image analysis device may determine an average value of sizes of the sample brain regions corresponding to the brain regions to be merged as a size of the second target brain region, determine an average value of signal values of the sample brain regions corresponding to the brain regions to be merged as a signal value of the second target brain region, and merge each sample brain region according to the determined size of the second target brain region and the determined signal value of the second target brain region to obtain the second target brain region.
S403, comparing and analyzing the first target brain region and the second target brain region to obtain an analysis result; the analysis result is used for indicating whether an abnormal area exists in the brain image to be analyzed.
Specifically, the brain image analysis device performs comparison analysis on the obtained first target brain region and second target brain region to obtain an analysis result, wherein the analysis result is used for indicating whether an abnormal region exists in the brain image to be analyzed. Alternatively, the analysis result of the first target brain region and the second target brain region obtained by the brain image analysis device may be that no abnormal region exists in the brain image to be analyzed, or that an abnormal region exists in the brain image to be analyzed. Optionally, the brain image analysis device may compare and analyze the shape of the first target brain region with the shape of the second target brain region, determine whether the shapes of the first target brain region and the second target brain region are consistent, if not, compare and analyze the inconsistent area to determine whether an abnormal area exists in the brain image to be analyzed, and also compare and analyze the size of the first target brain region with the size of the second target brain region to determine whether the size of the first target brain region and the size of the second target brain region are consistent, and if not, compare and analyze the area with larger difference between the sizes of the first target brain region and the second target brain region to determine whether an abnormal area exists in the brain image to be analyzed.
As shown in fig. 4a, in the image analysis method provided in this embodiment, the size and signal value of the first target brain region may be obtained according to the size and signal value of each brain region to be merged, the average size and signal average value of the second target brain region may be obtained according to the average size and signal average value of the sample brain regions corresponding to each brain region to be merged in the brain region database, and the size and signal value of each brain region to be merged may be compared with the average size and signal average value of the sample brain regions corresponding to each brain region to be merged in the brain region database, so as to obtain the difference between the first target brain region and the second target brain region, and the difference between the non-merged brain region in the brain image to be analyzed and the corresponding sample brain region in the database.
In this embodiment, the process of determining, in the brain region database, the sample brain regions corresponding to the brain regions to be merged by the brain image analysis device is very simple, and the sample brain regions corresponding to the brain regions to be merged can be quickly determined, so that merging operation can be quickly performed on the determined sample brain regions to obtain the second target brain region, and the efficiency of obtaining the second target brain region is improved.
In the above scenario where the comparison analysis is performed on the first target brain region and the second target brain region to obtain the analysis result indicating whether the abnormal region exists in the brain image to be analyzed, in one embodiment, the step S403 includes: and comparing and analyzing the first target brain region and the second target brain region according to the size of the first target brain region, the signal value of the first target brain region, the size of the second target brain region and the signal value of the second target brain region to obtain an analysis result.
Specifically, the brain image analysis device performs comparison analysis on the first target brain region and the second target brain region according to the size of the first target brain region, the signal value of the first target brain region, the size of the second target brain region and the signal value of the second target brain region, so as to obtain the analysis result. Alternatively, the brain image analysis device may compare the size of the first target brain region with the size of the second target brain region, and compare the signal value of the first target brain region with the signal value of the second target brain region, to obtain the analysis result.
In this embodiment, the brain image analysis device can rapidly compare and analyze the first target brain region and the second target brain region according to the size of the first target brain region, the signal value of the first target brain region, the size of the second target brain region and the signal value of the second target brain region, so that the analysis results of the first target brain region and the second target brain region can be rapidly obtained, and the efficiency of obtaining the analysis results of the first target brain region and the second target brain region is improved.
